“His life was a nightmare as gruesome as any of his stories.  And his stories are dark masterpieces of gut-wrenching horror…
Have you ever thought about being buried alive?  Covered with wet dirt, clawing your coffin, screaming, trapped beneath the ground.  He did.  Have you ever thought about being tortured? Tied, in the dark, with rats and agony on all sides, knowing your enemies can watch your shriek.  Have you ever thought the Thing that most hates you is waiting.  Inside the walls, under the floor, have you ever thought about Death and Madness taking human form and coming after you?  Have you ever thought about – He did.  All this and more… and more… and more.  Which is why the name of sheer, stark horror is Edgar Allan Poe.”
